Nighttime Target Acquisition and Tracking System, Mark 1, 'Owl Eye'
The Owl Eye is a system of telescopes with no-magnification eyepieces arrayed around a ship's spotting platforms. The lightweight (you do not need much to gather more light than a human eye, even at full (normal) dilation a human pupil is only about five millimeters wide and thus a very small telescope is capable of greatly magnifying the amount of light gathered and making things relatively very visible at night, and since we're not trying to mount these to soldiers' helmets we've got no size restriction to require any sort of research effort) scopes will turn even the dark of a moonlit night into a sufficiently bright scene for visual identification of hostile warships against any background. The fairly small size of these scopes allows them to be stored internally, out of the way during daytime, and moved out to be mounted during nighttime for spotting, when they will be used constantly to scan the horizon given the enemy's preference for nighttime engagements.

A comparable system augments the daytime rangefinders, by adding an additional lens or two (sometimes you need two lens to ensure the light behaves properly on its way through the rest of the system) on the ends of the rangefinders' optical tubes. This lens is larger and thus gathers more light, again rendering the picture bright enough for the operator to utilize the rangefinder in dark conditions, without otherwise altering their functionality.

Efficacy: 6

Well, the work done means that, so long as the ship has them, chances are that we will be the ones to unleash night strikes upon our enemy rather than the other way around. Additionally, any of their little torpedo boats will almost certainly be detected before they can launch torpedoes at us unless they make something like these sights and a stupidly long range torpedo. Of course, such a torpedo is likely to never exist, and likely will only ever serve to finish off large ships or used at close range. Regardless, our work was simple enough that we could easily apply this to all our ships without really retrofitting them due to how cheep and easy to slap the parts on are. Trivial modifications really. Just need the proper parts and at most a day in port, and the parts cost pennies. We can easily fit it in the bill for general maintenance of the ships. Quite simply, we are likely to gain a edge at night time engagements from this point forward.

Mark Two A "Eyeball" Fire Control Computation Machine (1 die spent, 0 die rushed) (I'll give you this once. Don't forget next time, as I won't do this a second time.)

5+2=7/8 4 PP invested

Work was done swiftly on the Mark Two A, and we are extremely close to the finishing of its production. Just some minor additions, tweaks, and other finalization's along with sending the order in to the places that will actually construct enough of the parts for these things to be equipped on our ships is all that needs to be done at this point. Unfortunately that will take just that little bit more time, time we don't have annoyingly. Still, better a quality product than a rushed one...


It is now the Production and Deployment phase. You have 4 PP remaining should you pay for all maintenance and construction costs.

Battleships Hurl insults from behind thick walls, Destroyers beat up small children, Carriers stay back in the kitchen, and Cruisers are a bunch of tryhards who pretend to be loners.
